“May the Fourth Be with You” at this year’s Exhibition Park Children’s Festival
LETHBRIDGE – Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren and the Star Wars van will be available for photo ops with the multitudes of child (and adult) Star Wars aficionados at this year’s Exhibition Park Children’s Festival. Heck, everyone can even come dressed as their favourite character!
Because it takes place on the weekend of May 4 and 5, the theme this year is appropriately Star Wars related. However, according to Supervisor of Events and Entertainment, Jackie French, there are also dozens of other non-galactic related activities for everyone, including a big-block Lego park.
“We also have a dog show that’s new this year. So that’s going to be an interactive dog agility show where you can come and watch. You’ll be able to interact with the dogs after the show….and we have the princesses coming back… They’ll be doing a lot of sing-a-long songs for the kids.”
Family favorites that are back this year include the VRKADE Virtual reality game booth, food truck alley, the petting zoo, laser tag, reverse bungee jump attraction and balloon sculpting.
